Friday's Ferrari

The Christie's International Historic Festival meeting at Silverstone in July 1992 featured a special display of Ferraris in the paddock and some of these were driven in track demonstrations by former Scuderia Ferrari drivers. This is one of those cars at Luffield Corner during one of the demonstration runs.

It’s a 1978 Ferrari 312 T3 and is being driven by Jody Scheckter who drove the car in the first 2 races of the 1979 season alongside Gilles Villeneuve. In the 1978 season Gilles Villeneuve and Carlos Reutemann drove the car in all but the first 2 races, Villeneuve winning the last race of the season in Canada while Reutemann won the United States West Grand Prix at Long Beach, the British Grand Prix and the United States Grand Prix at Watkins Glen.
